Benefits of aerodynamic streamlining include reduced wind noise and lift, better stability, improved acceleration at passing speeds, higher cruising and top speeds, better fuel economy, and reduced initial costs; basic principles of aerodynamics for automobiles are presented; application of principles is shown for different types of automobiles and tractor-trailer unit; tables, formulas, and examples; it is suggested that joint training program be initiated for body engineers and aerodynamicists with classroom studies based on detail design problems.
